Today’s Thoughts

Light snow, none sticking…yet. Expecting 2-4”

I had a nice Thanksgiving Dinner. I was the pilgrim with Andy, Faith, Kayla and her boyfriend with Logan and his girlfriend. Great food, nicely decorated table (Faith’s crafting), good conversation. Truly thankful for these friends.

Back in 2017 my blog disappeared and then showed up again about a month later. So, these blogs will be from my other blog site until the original one is found.

I picked a poinsettia from Home Depot. 6” plant for $2.98, regularly $5.98. Healthy and nice.

Good to see that there were 24 hostages released by Hamas. Still a long way to go to get all the hostages.

Enjoy

You remember those things you drank water out in the hallways of your school? Well, most Southerners and Northeasterners call them water fountains. Most Northwesterners call them drinking fountains. There are also a few places up north that call them bubblers.
